Dude I saw him live a few years ago and laughed my ass off.  One of the funniest guys on the planet.

Glad to know this is what our staff came away with from the Ravens game!  Dead last in D but we need a new punter! That will fix it!

[Low Positive]

He's Australian to boot. Hope he doesn't bring any of those big-a** spiders with him.

What happened to Brad Robbins?  I don't really care who is punting, but the FG unit relies on the punter being the holder and that unit looked smoothe the other night.  Why disrupt it.

Was waiting to see if they brought in a practice squad guy, but looks like Robbins is being cut.  He was BAD week 1 -  horrible hang time, net avg, and that final punt was just awful.

I agree.  One of the best stand up comedians around

Yeah-  Robbins had a tough night

This is a head scratcher.  So new kicker, new punter and new place kick holder by week two????

 

Did the punter get hurt?  Seemed like he was booming it during the game..  Didn't notice any issues with the punter or his punting...

Kickers are literally the only position where you can sign and play that day/next.

 

Doubt we see any significant defensive lineup changes because of learning curve...unless its via trade in a few weeks.

Hard to believe he is punting all training camp etc was any different than in the game. Why wait until after week 1.

Statistically he was no bueno. I thought he was okay by the eye test.

I am pretty surprised by this. I didn't notice punting issues besides maybe one that was short. What made him so bad?

You must've missed his 28 yard punt in the 4th Q.

Could be a photoshop of McDermott as a punter or a twin.

I don't know if this article is correct, but this could explain why the Bills waited until this week to make a change: 

 

Oftentimes, NFL teams wait until after Week 1 to sign vested veterans, because their contracts are automatically guaranteed if they’re on opening-week rosters.

It's like they didn't have the whole off season to evaluate the Punter?

Aaah that makes sense.
